hating these past couple of days

are you sure you are in the right career? Daycare can be very stressful. Stress is always a factor in how well we cope with this disease. I found out that my meds seemed to work best when I controlled the stress in my life. That meant quitting the job I had. I eventually had to stop working alltogether in order to keep my mood stable. Not everyone can do this but try evaluating the stressful parts of your life and simplify.

I hope you are feeling better.

I know how you feel. I am on Abilify and Lamictal, and I hit a phase of mixed mania, just in the last few days. I wasn't extremely depressed or extremely angry, but, I was irritable, and negative, and wanted to push everyone away. It is like having gravel move through me. I had to go see my pdoc, so, I could get another mood stablizer, for the mixed mania. I also journal, and talk it out with my counselor, and caseworker. They gave me a mood chart, too. I am also on an anti anxiety med, which helps, too. I am bipolar 1, and a rapid cycler. Which doesn't help. So, anyway, I hope this helps, Gypsy
